Chapter 32 We Are Heroes
Just as the Hall of War has many subordinate gods, the Throne of Light also had a group of gods under its command back then.
The most famous of them are the four archangels of "Justice," "Fairness," "Hope," and "Courage," who are also four beings of medium divine power.
From the memories Ai inherited from the [Gluttonous Dragon], she had a rather deep impression of the former Archangel of Courage.
A thousand years ago, when the Holy Throne of Light led the gods to besiege the Gluttonous Dragon, these four archangels spearheaded the attack, and many of the Gluttonous Dragon's former subordinates died at their hands.
Unfortunately, after the fall of the Holy Throne of Light, it seems that the gods under His throne completely disappeared.
Humanity does not know whether these four archangels died in battle or defected to the gods of other races.
But as things stand, the Angel of Courage is probably dead.
Ai didn't know whether this little guy named "Caesar" had obtained the power of "Courage" by chance or was a contingency plan left behind by the Angel of Courage.
So, what should we do?
Kill him, and bring courage and authority to him?
Ai had the thought, but quickly dismissed it.
He now possesses the two supreme authorities of "Order" and "Light" from the [Throne of Light], plus the three ego authorities of "Devour," "Twistress," and "Flesh and Blood" from the [Gluttonous Dragon]. Acquiring the authority of Courage would actually be of little use to him.
For gods, more authority is not necessarily better. Even the most powerful deities can only fully control two or three powers at most.
Once that number is exceeded, it becomes somewhat beyond our capabilities.
Gods have their limits; they cannot be omniscient and omnipotent. They are merely beings stronger than mortals.
Otherwise, why would those beings with powerful divine abilities bother pursuing that unattainable supreme divine power?
Gaining more power is meaningless to Ai in the present moment.
perhaps……
I should start building my own team!
Players are ultimately just players; they are merely passersby in this world. Ai can control them through quests and the like, but she cannot truly command them.
Not to mention so-called loyalty!
After all, they're gamers; those who know, know; they're all pretty arrogant.
They all claim to be loyal, but when asked, they refuse to go.
I might be able to train this little guy named Caesar.
With that in mind, Ai used her authority to issue a notification to all players.
[Congratulations to players "Huang Tian Zai Shang", "#Lao Li#", and "Leveling Team Leader" for triggering a world quest.]
World Quest: Knight of Light - Part 1
[Quest Hint: A boy named "Caesar Arthos" seems to hold a secret about the [Throne of Light]...]
[Number of participants: Unlimited]
[Failure Condition: "Caesar Altos" dies]
[Quest Rewards: 10000 Contribution Points, Top-Tier Equipment x1, Mysterious Gift x1, Limited Achievement "Guardian of the Children of Light"]
The announcement sent all the players into a frenzy.
They inquired about the whereabouts of the three players who triggered the quest, and who the boy named "Caesar Altos" was.
Several players who had added the "leveling team leader" on social media kept tagging him in private messages, trying to confirm whether he was the person in the server-wide announcement.
The leveling team leader blocked all this information, and then looked at Caesar Altos with an indescribable greed and excitement in his eyes.
"Main quest..."
[A new faction rating system has been added to Another World Online.]
Another World Online adds an NPC affinity system.
By spending contribution points, you can check the favorability rating of different NPCs towards you. The stronger the NPC, the greater their fate weight, and the more contribution points you need to spend.
Note: Favorability is an extremely important stat in Another World Online. This stat affects the player's quest completion and experience gain. Furthermore, NPC favorability significantly influences the player's faction rating; the higher the faction rating, the greater the benefits the player receives from the corresponding faction.
After the system broadcast the start of the world quests across all servers, two more game update announcements were randomly broadcast.
[Would you like to consume 100 contribution points to check your favorability with this NPC?]
After the system announced the game update, the leveling team leader couldn't wait to try it out, but was scared off by the high contribution point consumption.
Just by looking at the NPC's favorability rating, is it really necessary to have 100 contribution points?
It's no wonder they're the protagonists of the world!
Despite his complaints, the leveling team leader gritted his teeth and spent 100 contribution points.
[NPC: Caesar Altos]
This person's affinity level with you is: 20 (Familiar)
Is the favorability rating only 20?
No way, this is the protagonist of the world!
Based on his many years of experience playing tricks on Meng, for a protagonist like this, regardless of gender, it's best to max out his favorability!
On the way back to Blackwater with Caesar, the protagonist of the world, the leveling team leader tried his best to put on a friendly smile and politely attempted to talk to Caesar.
"Caesar, you..."
The leveling team leader stopped halfway through his sentence because he saw Caesar looking terrified and distancing himself from him, eventually hiding behind Huang Tianzai.
"..."
The leveling team leader was speechless for a moment, then couldn't help but complain.
"I wasn't the one who pinched you just now, why are you so afraid of me!"
Hiding behind Huang Tianzai, Caesar looked at the leveling team leader and said in a rather serious tone, "I recognize that look in your eyes. You definitely have ill intentions towards me! I suspect you're not a good person!"
"..."
The leveling team leader was speechless, unsure how to respond.
Can you please stop making the NPCs in the game so realistic? Even if you're going to make them this realistic, at least give them a few dialogue options!
How am I, with my social anxiety, supposed to do this, where I'm just going to improvise like this?!
The leveling team leader slunk away to the side, heartbroken, while Caesar, watching this scene, looked up at the heavens above.
"Don't you all grieve for the deaths of your comrades?"
Huang Tian replied, "It's not real death, why be sad?"
"How could we not truly die? The Holy Throne of Light fell a thousand years ago. Now that we are dead, we are dead. There is no way we can go to His Kingdom and gain eternal life! So-called eternal life is a lie!"
Caesar answered very seriously, but his tone was very sad, as if he had remembered something.
What is the Holy Throne of Light?
Huang Tian wasn't familiar with the game's background. After all, his original intention was just to explore the game, but somehow he ended up doing quests with NPCs.
At this moment, Lao Li, who seemed to be daydreaming but was actually coding, suddenly spoke up and explained to Caesar in a rather awkward tone.
"The successor to the Throne of Light, the God of Light, has appeared in the world. We are the heroes He summoned from another realm. We will not die; death will only return us to our original world, and at the call of the God of Light, we will return to this world once more!"
